Description

The elegantly written and melancholy stories of Ford Madox Ford contain intensely emotional portraits of individuals suffering through crumbling marriages, devastating wars, and tumultuous historical periods. His character-driven, intricately plotted, and complex books typically focus on a stoic and old-fashioned protagonist as he flounders in a world full of stuffy aristocratic social mores, radically changing sexual politics, and people nearly mad with frustration and desperation. Ford's leisurely paced and meandering plots, nuanced observations, and unreliable and stream-of-consciousness narration require careful reading, but readers will be rewarded with ntimate insights into the psychology of human relationships. Start with: The Good Soldier
